The cabin is comfortable with a large wood stove in the sleeping area, and another wood cooking stove in the kitchen/dining area. I stayed during a snowstorm in 2019, and found the bedroom stove kept the cabin so warm that I would go outside to chop wood to cool off a little. There is a large open space behind the cabin with an irrigation ditch crossing it. The front of the cabin faces a county road, which gets a fair amount of traffic to Hebgen Lake, especially on summer weekends. This makes it unsafe for dogs. On my last trip I brought along a temporary fence to put along the split rail fence in the front for my dog’s safety. It did its job. The kitchen counter has seen years of use, and I would recommend bringing along a cutting board or some sort of cover to place over the counter for food cleanliness. There are grizzlies in the hills just west of the cabin. The owner of the Diamond P Ranch, which is 1.7 miles from the cabin, told me he had two grizzlies at the door of his house in August 2020. A grizzly was seen on one of the Diamond P trail rides the week of August 8th, 2021. I would hear coyotes yipping every evening in August 2021. It was a good place to view the Perseid Meteor Showers.

Great cabin, wonderful location quite near the west gate of Yellowstone! There are several nearby cabin homes, so it is not isolated. The cabin itself was charming and stayed warm despite cold nighttime temps.

We loved staying at the Basin Station cabin. The area was beautiful and peaceful. Water is easy to get at the campground just a few minutes drive down the road. It was so much better than staying in the busy town of West Yellowstone. We enjoyed taking day trips to Yellowstone to explore. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because I heard a mouse or some kind of rodent running around in the attic on our 3rd night there that kept me up for a while.

This is such a beautiful and special place. Understand there is no water or electricity, but it’s like camping except you have walls and mattresses. The stars at night are incredible! Find some peace and enjoy.

The cabin was a good base camp for visiting Yellowstone. The stove was great and we were actually able to use it to cook a few things and heat up some water.
